Noah turned 6! What a wonderful birthday. I can't believe he is 6 already. My little boy 2 years away from eight. And he chose to have his birthday with his family friends. all his best friends. I am so happy that he is happy and content in our family. We have many moments that don't sound like this. He is a good boy and will yet teach me so much. He is a wonderufl example. He has a black eye from bumping the table while we teased each other and tickled. He didn't like all the attention he was getting from it and said he wanted it to be healed by sunday so people wouldn't ask about it. We talked about things he could say so that he didn't have to tell the whole story again. Ah its "old news" is the phrase he liked and has used since. It is fun to so him use it. I do wonder what people think it is a nasty black eye. I thought he had even missed the table as he hit the ground dashing away from tickling fingers but his shrill cry made me know immediately that he was in pain! he is such a good trooper. When his eye first turned bright blue and purple and It looked like he had been using my makeup he decided it looked less like makeup and more like "boy tough".
Easter has arrived. With sunshine and fresh air. Jarom sick and vomiting. My poor boy tucked himself in wiht a blanket on the couch and let me know he was going to have a home day because his tummy didn't feel good. Hudson is a little out of sorts and clingy or throwing kicks and punches to try and convince the rest of the lazy gang that it is time we went outside to play hockey! or share that dart gun. Noah was thrilled with the presents of a nerf gun ( mom finaly caved with a strict set of rules around use) and lego, a backpack, some toonies, to name a few. Jarom was so thrilled and happy for him he gave Noah more hugs and pats on the back hten I can count. Good Job Noah! or Noah look what you got! It was wonderful. Jarom had asked me to buy Noah some Ninja lego from the store for him to give Noah. Noah had asked during the day to look at lego and Ninja lego specificaly as we looked at the website Noah found a particular set that he wanted to look at I got it wrong no that one he siad pointing to the screen and it was the set Jarom had wrapped for him. Jarom loved telling this story over and over again. About how he wanted to get Noah this special Lego because he wanted him to be happy.
My testimony of the saviour and His life and Ressurection burn in my heart today. I have visited the church website and watched some of the bible movies and talks from the leaders surrounding easter. My favorities include:
Plus I have plants and hope to make a grace garden with the boys later today. I saw it on the blog I like called Holy Experience writtings by Ann Voskamp a mom. I also saw this hymn listed by Fernando Ortega "Stricken, Smitten and afflicted" on her site and found it on you tube as well as I need thee every hour, and Come thou fount of every blessing . I am enchanted by the music on her web page though it takes me to such a nice palce in my head and heart. The Gift by David Nevue.
I start writting and get on so many different tangents Like the you tube video of a woman who auditioned in England and blew the audience away with I dreamed a dream. What a moving song! I love music and performance. How it moves me!
